By eliminating men’s T&F and its educational opportunities for Black males, Clemson President & AD ensure there’ll be no “future Ralph Metcalf” coming out of their barely segregated athletic department & university.

.@ClemsonDRad tells @SInow: "Football allows us to have these other sports.". He fails to tell @RossDellenger that FB allows him to have his job, his exuberant salary & benefits package. Outside of his own, he doesn't appear to believe in opportunities.

What is the purpose of This weekend saw 5 collegiate records set in T&F & 20 collegiate men run under 4 minutes in the mile, yet the sport doesn't get 1 mention on the website. The @NCAA should be supporting ALL of their student-athletes & sports.

So, @ClemsonUniv can pay two football coordinators a total of $4.16 million per year, but can’t afford to have a men’s T&F/XC team. I call BS. Clemson President & AD should be barred from the college educational system.

Clemson's Tony Elliott ranks as the nation's highest-paid offensive coordinator, for now, and has been elevated to associate head coach.

We should all be thankful the Naval Academy understands the purpose of education, opportunity & college athletics, otherwise there would have been no Commander Willie McCool. Too bad Clemson President and AD don’t understand the purpose.

Clemson gets an A+ for being able to talk out of both sides of their mouth. I doubt Dr. King would believe you are honoring him by eliminating over 20% of educational & athletic opportunities for black males in your athletic department.

It refreshing to see that South Carolina’s elected officials, like @KimpsonForSC, are now questioning the decision by Clemson’s President to eliminate educational & athletic opportunities for male T&F athletes, that also eliminated over 20% of Clemson’s black male athletes.

The best holiday gift male T&F/CC athletes at @ClemsonTigers & @CMUAthletics could receive would be to have their educational & athletic opportunities restored by the universities that took them away.

You would think the federal government would shut off any federal funding to a university, like @ClemsonUniv, that eliminates educational opportunities for Black males. @SaveClemsonXCTF.

Clemson President Jim Clements (@ClemsonPrez) oversees the elimination of educational & athletic opportunities for more than 20% of Black male athletes & then is awarded a 𝒏𝒆𝒘 contract by the Board of Trustees. How can the state of South Carolina let this go on? @KimpsonForSC

Why has it become an acceptable practice to eliminate opportunities for student-athletes to make up for mismanagement by Athletic Directors & universities? This should be an unacceptable solution and the responsible people held accountable.

Cutting Men's XC/Track & Field should concern everyone. @ClemsonDRad is setting a dangerous tone for the rest of college athletics to follow. This goes beyond any rivalry. Thanks @GamecockTrack for your support. We wish we could say the same for @ClemsonPrez.#saveclemsonxctf

In addition to eliminating academic & athletic opportunities for black males, apparently the white President & Athletic Director at Clemson don’t really care about women either if you listen to the video from female athletes at Clemson. #SaveClemsonXCTF.

.@ClemsonUniv the decision to cut the Men’s XC/Track & Field program cuts just as deep into the Women’s program. @ClemsonDRad is setting up to destroy XC/TF as we know it. Clemson family speak up! #MyBrothersKeeper #SaveClemsonXCTF. @ClemsonPrez @ClemsonTigers @ClemsonAlumni

Clemson President James Clements informs Clemson Board he wants to stay as President rather than be the new ACC Commissioner. I guess he found out the ACC didn’t want a commissioner that eliminates opportunities for black male athletes.

No college president or athletic director would every drop a track & field program if they had met or spent time with Rafer Johnson. One of the most special people I’ve ever had the pleasure of spending time with.

Student-Athlete Advisory Committees on each campus athletic department exist to be the voice of & to represent student-athletes. Why is the @ClemsonSAAC silent on lost opportunities for black male athletes? Have they been silenced?.

.@ClemsonUniv has a history of exploiting black labor for profit. The recent decision made by @ClemsonDRad @ClemsonTigers & @ClemsonPrez to cut men’s XC/Track & Field only aligns with this tradition, let us explain. stand with us go to
